UNC System Joins National SAT Debate
By Emma Merritt | July 26High school students may soon be rejoicing at the possibility of not having to take the SAT if state legislators get their way. The N.C. General Assembly passed a bill July 19 requiring the UNC system to not only study the admission tests but also to consider other means of gauging student performance than standardized tests. Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, said the bill passed easily. "I don't know of any opposition," Insko said. "I think that the Board of Governors would consider it anyway." She said the bill reflects a nationwide questioning of the SAT's effectiveness.
